Different, fresh and unconventional ~ Excerpt of review by Denis V.
“‘SG - Suicide Game’ written by Haidji tells a story about an unusual and disturbing game of the future, though actually providing a metaphor that is applicable to the present time.
Suicide Game popularity is awesome, it’s a phenomenon that has stunned and amazed audience all around the world, a new game which features eight thousands contestants and it’s followed by millions live on TV and their mobile screens…
Haidji story is different, fresh and unconventional, so her novel ‘SG - Suicide Game’ can be fully recommended for all those who seek out such characteristics from books; this mix of thriller, science fiction, suspense and society study is extremely interesting to read.”

Excerpt from Chapter One
Step 1 – Day 1
A young girl was walking around inside the Stadium
wearing a beautiful white dress, elegant in her Manolo
shoes, carrying a baby in her arms, facing forward, and
trying to cover its eyes with her hands while listening to a
voice...
‘The new game
The new mania
8000 candidates and
Only one will survive
Only one can win!
Live from the Night Stadium
Nothing compares to what you'll see here
Nothing compares to what you'll watch
See, choose your candidate, bet
Participate! It is …
The new and unexpected... Suicide Game!
All that the girl, Alessandra, was thinking about was to get
out of there, to walk quickly between the black shiny chairs
into the dark corridors and disappear. She had entered the
Stadium to apply for a job as one of the models, and she
withdrew her application as soon as they explained to her
exactly the Game’s rules.
Alessandra was 20 years old; she was probably too old for
the job, but she saw the announcement that they needed
more models to work in the Game. She wasn’t a model, but
she looked like one, so she decided to try. She was happy as
they called her and happy that she passed the initial
casting a week ago, so she was there just to sign the
contract and to start work on the same day.
But the Game rules made her feel terrified.
This…wasn’t…a job… for her. For sure not.
Alessandra wanted to leave the space, but was hesitating
for a moment, thinking about how to pay her bills, because
she used up all her savings in the last months. Figuring
out what to do now, with no money to pay her next rent; she
was an optimist, she could feel, she felt she would find
‘something’, and she trusted her intuition.
She had thought this ‘something’ was the job in the Game,
but it wasn’t. Or maybe, in a certain and unexpected way, it
was.
What she found, instead of a new job, came in front of her
while she walked a little bit in circles, without finding her
way out of the Stadium. It was a baby, crawling in front of
her. ‘Who brings a baby into a place like this?’ she thought,
while she took the baby in her arms to see if she could find
the parents or someone responsible for it.
The baby smiled and embraced her.
